University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment (November, Preliminary)

Nov 6, 2026, 10:00 a.m. ET

The first November reading of the University of Michigan survey, released 90 minutes after the October jobs report on the date listed by the Surveys of Consumers. Households' one-year and long-run inflation expectations reached their highest since May in October, so those lines matter more than the headline ahead of the December Fed meeting.

Previous: October final 48.0 (current conditions 46.7, expectations 48.8); one-year inflation expectations 4.7%, long-run 3.5%
